Steps to reproduce:

Open YouTube with 4K video and play it on 2x speed.

I am using Wayland mode in Firefox. about:support shows that media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled is true and HARDWARE_VIDEO_DECODING is available.

Actual results:

CPU is 100%, video is lugging.

Expected results:

On rpm version of Firefox I have 10% of CPU and video playing well.
